Is it that bad? How do you know?

From what I see and hear from my friends I would say it’s much more difficult for entry level positions (<4 years of experience) and new grads to get positions comparably from both the last two years and the year pre-covid (2018-2019 from where we were all looking for internships in my undergraduate class)

but it’s a sample size of n=~40-50 of friends that I regularly still interact with from high school and college and they’re all from or are still in California so maybe there’s both tech and educational bias due to geographic location
